Sorry if this is slightly off-topic, but I thought this was the best place to ask rather than add yet another "rate my build" thread to the forums.

Anyhow, I've kind of had my heart set on a spellsword-type Witch, preferably fire-based (thought I might go Lightning with some convincing). My dreams of having a sword and wand combo were dashed, but I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of making this type of character viable.

I haven't really seen one yet. IIRC, someone had posted about creating one. If I find one, I'll post it here.
